In a recent report published in Vaccine, researchers presented the coronavirus vaccines research and development roadmap (CVR) to promote the development of broadly protective coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. Study: A Research and Development (R&D) Roadmap for Broadly Protective Coronavirus…
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have generated the first induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from bats, gaining valuable insights into the close relationship between bats and viruses. This research opens the door to studying how…
In a recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers used a machine-learning (ML)-based model to identify non-human CoVs (coronaviruses) that might cause human infections. Study: Using machine learning to detect coronaviruses potentially infectious to humans. Image…
A recent draft released by the World Health Organization explained the new global strategy to address the gaps in infection prevention and control (IPC) programs that became apparent after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The draft also highlighted strategies to…
In a recent study published in the journal PLOS Pathogens, researchers investigated the mechanisms through which the human common cold Betacoronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) inhibit the formation of stress granules. Study: Nsp1 proteins…
New research shows that the closest bat virus relatives of the human Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus efficiently bind to bat ACE2 receptors as an entry point into these cells. These receptors have some similarities to the ACE2 receptors in…
A recent disease outbreak alert released by the World Health Organization (WHO) reported four laboratory-confirmed cases of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) from three regions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Situation Update: Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)…
In a recent study published in Emerging Infectious Diseases, researchers performed bat sarbecovirus isolation experiments using Rhinolophus cornutus bats from several regions in Japan that were phylogenetically situated in the same cluster of viruses related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus…
In this interview, News-Medical talks to Dr Javier Yugueros-Marcos, Head of the Antimicrobial Resistance and Veterinary Products Department at the World Organisation for Animal Health, about how the world can work together to promote the sustainable and responsible use of antimicrobials. Please could…
The Independent Task Force on COVID-19 and other Pandemics (www.independentcovidtaskforce.org) announced that their report “Pandemic Origins and a One Health Approach to Preparedness and Prevention: Solutions Based on SARS-CoV-2 and Other RNA Viruses” has been published in the Proceedings of…
